[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an equipment carrying-in and fixing device that moves an equipment to a predetermined fixing position and fixes it. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is known an appliance stand device capable of fixing a relatively heavy appliance such as a clothes dryer, as shown in Patent Document 1. In such an appliance stand device, the appliance is placed on the top of the stand, moved to a predetermined position, and then fixed with screws or the like. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 06-277387 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Installing equipment on an equipment stand device such as that shown in Patent Document 1 requires a great deal of effort. In particular, when installing equipment on a stand such as a shelf, if there is little space around the installation location, there is a risk that the shelf or equipment may be damaged by contacting the wall or shelf during installation. It is conceivable to use rails to reduce labor and ensure stable movement of equipment, but if the equipment vibrates when in operation, such as a clothes dryer, the vibrations can cause interference noise (noise) between the rails.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an equipment carrying-in and fixing device that can realize stable movement of equipment with little effort while sufficiently reducing noise generated when the equipment is fixed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above object, the equipment carrying-in and fixing device comprises: An equipment carrying-in and fixing device that moves and fixes equipment to a predetermined fixing position, and its characteristic structure The success is an equipment-side rail member attached to a leg of the equipment; The device can be attached to an equipment installation location, and in a state where the device is attached to the equipment installation location, The device-side rail member is fitted to the device-side rail member, and the device-side rail member is fitted to the device-side rail member from the front side of the fixed position toward the rear side of the fixed position. a rail member on the installation location side that is slidable along the rail member; The device-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member are connected to each other, and the device is positioned at the fixed position. and a fastening member for fastening the 、 the installation location-side rail member has a shape that surrounds the outside of the equipment-side rail member and has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side, the installation location-side rail member clamps and fixes the device-side rail member at the rear side at the fixed position; The fastening member is an elastic fastening member that fastens the installation location side rail member from the outside as viewed in the longitudinal direction on the front side, thereby elastically deforming the installation location side rail member. It's at the point.

[0007] According to the above characteristic configuration, even when the equipment to be transported is relatively heavy and there is a risk of it losing balance and damaging surrounding walls and the like before being moved to the installation location and fixed in place, the equipment-side rail member attached to the equipment can be fitted into the installation-location-side rail member attached to the equipment installation location and allowed to slide, allowing the equipment to be moved stably to the fixed location without losing balance during movement. Furthermore, after the equipment has been moved to the fixed position, the equipment-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member are fastened and fixed by the fastening member with the equipment positioned at the fixed position, so that the equipment is well fixed to the fixed position while the contact surfaces of the equipment-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member are fastened together to effectively prevent interference between each other and the generation of interference noise. In addition, the fixed position where the equipment is installed is usually the wall on the rear side of the equipment, making it difficult to perform the fixing work of fixing the equipment side rail member and the installation location side rail member to each other on this rear side. According to the above characteristic configuration, the installation location side rail member has a shape that surrounds the outside of the equipment side rail member and has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side. Therefore, the installation location side rail member can clamp and fix the equipment side rail member at the back side at the fixed position. Therefore, the equipment side rail member and the installation location side rail member can be well fixed at the back side, where fixing work is relatively difficult, without performing any special fixing work. Furthermore, in a configuration using an installation location side rail member that has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side, an elastic fastening member is used as the fastening and fixing member that fastens the installation location side rail member from the outside when viewed in the longitudinal direction, thereby elastically deforming the installation location side rail member.This allows the installation location side rail member, which has a larger diameter than the equipment side rail member on the front side, to be reduced in diameter by the elastic force of the elastic fastening member, and the equipment side rail member can be clamped and fixed by the installation location side rail member. That is, according to this characteristic configuration, the device-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member can be securely fixed together simply by attaching the elastic fastening member on the front side, without using a separate mounting jig such as a screwdriver.

[0008] Further characteristic configurations of the equipment carrying-in and fixing device include: the installation location-side rail member has a shape that surrounds the outside of the equipment-side rail member and has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side, The installation location side rail member, at the fixed position, clamps and fixes the device side rail member at the rear side.

[0009] Typically, the fixed position where the equipment is installed is often the wall on the rear side of the equipment, and it is difficult to perform the fixing work of fixing the equipment side rail member and the installation location side rail member to each other on this rear side. According to the above characteristic configuration, the installation location side rail member has a shape that surrounds the outside of the equipment side rail member and has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side. Therefore, the installation location side rail member can clamp and fix the equipment side rail member at the back side at the fixed position. Therefore, the equipment side rail member and the installation location side rail member can be well fixed at the back side, where fixing work is relatively difficult, without performing any special fixing work.

[0010] Further characteristic configurations of the equipment carrying-in and fixing device include: The fastening member is an elastic fastening member that fastens the installation location side rail member from the outside in the longitudinal direction on the front side, thereby elastically deforming the installation location side rail member, and is fixed to the equipment side rail member.

[0011] In the above-described characteristic configuration, in a configuration using an installation location side rail member that has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side, an elastic fastening member is used as the fastening and fixing member that fastens the installation location side rail member from the outside when viewed in the longitudinal direction, thereby elastically deforming the installation location side rail member, so that the installation location side rail member, which has a larger diameter than the equipment side rail member on the front side, can be reduced in diameter by the elastic force of the elastic fastening member, and the equipment side rail member can be clamped and fixed by the installation location side rail member. That is, according to this characteristic configuration, the device-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member can be securely fixed together simply by attaching the elastic fastening member on the front side, without using a separate mounting jig such as a screwdriver.

[0012] Further characteristic configurations of the equipment carrying-in and fixing device include: The fastening member is a screw member that fastens the equipment side rail member and the installation location side rail member to each other by inserting it through a screw hole formed on the front side of both the equipment side rail member and the installation location side rail member.

[0013] According to the above characteristic configuration, screw members are used as fastening members for fastening the equipment-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member to each other by inserting them into screw holes formed on the front side of both the equipment-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member.This allows the equipment-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member to be fixed to the equipment installation location using commonly used screws, etc., thereby providing economic benefits.

[0014] To achieve the above object, the equipment carrying-in and fixing device comprises: An equipment carrying-in and fixing device that moves and fixes equipment to a predetermined fixing position, and its characteristic structure The success is an equipment-side rail member attached to a leg of the equipment; The device can be attached to an equipment installation location, and in a state where the device is attached to the equipment installation location, The device-side rail member is fitted to the device-side rail member, and the device-side rail member is fitted to the device-side rail member from the front side of the fixed position toward the rear side of the fixed position. a rail member on the installation location side that is slidable along the rail member; The device-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member are connected to each other, and the device is positioned at the fixed position. and a fastening member for fastening the same in a placed state, A sliding surface where the device-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member come into contact with each other and slide. One of the two is provided with a vibration reducing member for reducing vibration. Over the entire longitudinal direction of the sliding surface The point is that it is provided.

[0015] According to the above-mentioned characteristic configuration, a vibration reducing member for reducing vibration is provided on one of the sliding surfaces where the device-side rail member and the installation location-side rail member come into contact and slide on each other. Over the entire longitudinal direction of the sliding surface Because of this, even when a device that generates vibrations during operation, such as a clothes dryer, is used as the device, interference noise and the like caused by the vibrations can be effectively prevented from occurring between the rail member on the device side and the rail member on the installation location side.

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The equipment carry-in and fixation device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is capable of stably moving equipment with minimal effort while sufficiently reducing noise generated when the equipment is fixed. Hereinafter, the equipment carry-in and fixation device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the base end side of the arrow Z is downward and the tip end side is upward, the tip end side of the arrow X is the back side in the loading direction of the device 10 and the base end side is the front side in the loading direction.

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the equipment carrying-in and fixing device 100 according to this embodiment carries in and fixes the equipment 10 to a predetermined fixing position. Examples of the equipment 10 include various types of equipment, such as a clothes dryer that uses city gas 13A as fuel to dry clothes. In addition, when the device 10 is a clothes dryer, a fuel supply pipe for supplying fuel, an exhaust gas flow pipe for circulating combustion exhaust gas, etc. will be connected to the device 10, but these pipes are omitted in Figures 1 and 2.

[0019] The equipment carry-in and fixing device 100 comprises an equipment-side rail member L2 attached to the leg 10a of the equipment 10, an installation location-side rail member L1 that can be attached to an installation stand 20 as the equipment installation location and that, when attached to the installation stand 20, fits into the equipment-side rail member L2 and is slidable from the front side of the fixing position toward the back side of the fixing position, and an elastic fastening member DT that fastens and fixes the equipment-side rail member L2 and the installation location-side rail member L1 together when the equipment 10 is positioned at the fixing position.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 1, the installation location side rail member L1 is fixed to the bottom 23 of a housing-shaped installation stand 20 having an opening 22 on the front side in the insertion direction of the device 10 (the direction along the arrow X in Fig. 1). As shown in Fig. 1(b), the installation stand 20 is shaped to cover the side peripheral surfaces (including the top and bottom surfaces) and the rear end surface of the device 10 that has been carried in and positioned at the fixed position. In addition, an outer enclosure 21 is provided that surrounds the piping (not shown) connected to the device 10 described above, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the device 10 at the fixed position.

[0021] The installation location-side rail member L1 is installed such that its longitudinal direction (the direction along arrow X in Figs. 1 and 2) is aligned with the carry-in direction. Furthermore, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, in a cross section (shown in Fig. 4) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (the direction along arrow X in Fig. 2), the installation location-side rail member L1 has a generally U-shape, and includes a first bottom surface portion L1b (a lower end portion that abuts against the bottom portion 23 of the installation table 20) and a pair of first side surface portions L1c extending upward from the first bottom surface portion L1b. Furthermore, a first flat end portion L1a having a surface parallel to the first bottom surface portion L1b is provided at the upper end of the pair of first side surface portions L1c. The installation location side rail member L1 is fixed to the bottom 23 of the installation stand 20 by first screw members B1 that pass through first openings H1 formed in the first bottom surface portion L1b. Note that the installation location side rail member L1 is fixed at two locations, the front side and the back side, by the first screw members B1 before the device 10 is carried into the fixing position. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of installation location side rail members L1 are provided parallel to each other along the carry-in direction.

[0022] The device-side rail members L2 are fixed to the legs 10a of the device 10 with their longitudinal direction (the direction along the arrow X in FIGS. 1 and 2) aligned with the carry-in direction. In this embodiment, a pair of rail members L2 are provided parallel to each other on one side and the other side of the horizontal direction when viewed from the carry-in direction of the device 10. Furthermore, the device-side rail member L2 has a generally U-shape in a cross section (shown in FIG. 4) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (the direction along arrow X in FIG. 2), and has a second top surface portion L2b (the upper end portion that abuts against the leg portion 10a of the device 10) and a pair of second side surfaces L2c extending downward from the second top surface portion L2b. Note that a second flat end portion L2a having a surface parallel to the second top surface portion L2b is provided at the lower end of the pair of second side surfaces L2c. The device-side rail member L2 is fixed to the leg 10a of the device 10 by a second screw member B2 that passes through a second opening H2 formed in the second top surface portion L2b. Before the device 10 is carried into the fixing position, the device-side rail member L2 is fixed to the leg 10a of the device 10 at two locations, the front side and the back side, by the second screw members B2, with the portion of the device 10 excluding the leg 10a placed on a workbench (not shown) or the like.

[0023] In the above configuration, when the device 10 is fixed, the installation location side rail member L1 surrounds the outside of the device side rail member L2, as shown in FIG. In particular, the installation location side rail member L1 according to this embodiment has a tapered shape in which the width in the horizontal direction (direction along arrow Y in FIG. 2) gradually narrows in the longitudinal direction from the front side to the back side. On the other hand, the equipment side rail member L2 has a constant width in the horizontal direction (Lc=Ld in FIG. 2) in the longitudinal direction from the front side to the back side. To provide further explanation, as shown in Figure 2, the horizontal width Lb (inner width) on the front side of the installation location side rail member L1 is larger than the horizontal width Ld (outer width) on the front side of the equipment side rail member L2, and the horizontal width La (inner width) on the rear side of the installation location side rail member L1 is configured to be approximately the same as (or smaller than) the horizontal width Lc (outer width) on the rear side of the equipment side rail member L2. As a result, when the equipment side rail member L2 is slid along the installation location side rail member L1 and the equipment 10 is moved to a fixed position, the equipment side rail member L2 is clamped horizontally by the installation location side rail member L1 at the rear side, and the equipment side rail member L2 is fixed to the installation location side rail member L1 at the rear side.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, an elastic fastening member DT (an example of a fastening and fixing member) is provided on the front side, which fastens the tapered installation location side rail member L1 from the outside when viewed in the longitudinal direction, thereby elastically deforming the rail member L2 on the equipment side. The elastic fastening member DT is made of a rubber-like material or the like having a predetermined elasticity, and as shown in Fig. 4, in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the installation location-side rail member L1, has a first rib portion DT1 that clamps the installation location-side rail member L1 from the outside to the inside as viewed in the longitudinal direction, and a second rib portion DT2 provided between the installation location-side rail member L1 and the equipment-side rail member L2. The first rib portion DT1 and the second rib portion DT2 are formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the installation location-side rail member L1 and the equipment-side rail member L2, with the first rib portion DT1 being provided on the side (the tip and base ends of arrow Y) and above (the side indicated by arrow Z) as viewed in the longitudinal direction, and the second rib portion DT2 being provided on the side (the tip and base ends of arrow Y), above (the side indicated by arrow Z), and below (the base end of arrow Z) as viewed in the longitudinal direction. With this configuration, the front side of the installation location side rail member L1 can be reduced in diameter by the elastic force of the elastic fastening member DT, allowing the equipment side rail member L2 to be clamped and fixed by the installation location side rail member L1. In particular, with the elastic fastening member DT according to this embodiment, by fastening with the first rib portion DT1 while the second rib portion DT2 is positioned between the installation location side rail member L1 and the equipment side rail member L2, direct contact between the installation location side rail member L1 and the equipment side rail member L2 on the near side, particularly in the horizontal direction, can be suppressed. As a result, interference noise generated by contact between the installation location side rail member L1 and the equipment side rail member L2 during operation of the equipment 10 can be reduced.

[0025] In addition, the elastic fastening member DT has a cap shape that covers the ends of the installation location side rail member L1 and the equipment side rail member L2 when viewed from the front side to the back side, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance. Incidentally, after the equipment 10 is positioned in the fixed position, the elastic fastening member DT is attached to the installation location side rail member L1 and the equipment side rail member L2 after the third screw member B3 is inserted into the first insertion hole H3b of the equipment side rail member L2 and the second insertion hole H3a of the installation location side rail member L1 and screwed into the bottom 23 of the installation base 20.

[0026] Furthermore, when the equipment 10 is fixed in place, its own weight presses it against the second flat end L2a of the equipment-side rail member L2 and the first bottom surface L1b of the installation location-side rail member L1, and if the equipment 10 vibrates, there is a risk that vibration noise will be generated due to contact between the two. Therefore, in the equipment carry-in fixation device 100 according to this embodiment, a vibration reduction member ST for reducing vibration is provided on the end face (sliding surface) below the second flat end L2a of the equipment-side rail member L2 (the base end side of the arrow Z in FIG. 2). The vibration reduction member ST is made of a rubber-like member or the like having a predetermined elasticity, and is provided over the entire end face below the second flat end L2a of the equipment-side rail member L2.

[0027] By adopting the configuration described above, even if the installation stand 20 is installed near the floor (not shown) or ceiling (not shown) of the room in which the equipment 10 is installed, making it difficult to transport the relatively heavy equipment 10, the equipment 10 can be transported in with its posture stabilized by aligning the equipment-side rail member L2 with the installation location-side rail member L1, thereby avoiding collision between the equipment 10 and the installation stand 20 during transport and achieving stable transport operations.

[0028] [Another embodiment] (1) In the above embodiment, the installation location side rail member L1 has a shape that surrounds the outside of the device side rail member L2 and has a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the front side to the back side. Alternatively, the rail member L2 on the equipment side may surround the outside of the rail member L1 on the installation location side, and the rail member L1 on the installation location side may have a tapered shape that gradually widens from the front side to the back side. This allows the equipment side rail member L2 to be clamped by the installation location side rail member L1 at the rear side, so that the equipment side rail member L2 and the installation location side rail member L1 can be securely fixed together at the rear side where it is relatively difficult to perform fixing work, etc. When this configuration is adopted, the elastic fastening member DT provided on the front side is attached in a manner that fastens the device-side rail member L2 from the outside to the inside.

[0029] (2) The vibration reducing member ST may be provided over the entire upper end surface (sliding surface) of the first bottom surface portion L1b of the installation location side rail member L1.

[0030] (3) The fastening member may be a third screw member B3 that fastens the device-side rail member L2 and the installation-site-side rail member L1 to each other by inserting the screw member B3 into screw holes formed on the front side of both the device-side rail member L2 and the installation-site-side rail member L1. That is, the elastic fastening member DT may not be provided. Conversely, only the elastic fastening member DT may be provided without providing the third screw member B3. The fastening member may have various other configurations in addition to the configuration described above.

[0031] Furthermore, the configurations disclosed in the above embodiments (including other embodiments, the same applies below) can be applied in combination with configurations disclosed in other embodiments, as long as no contradictions arise. Furthermore, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are examples, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope that does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0032] The equipment carrying-in and fixing device of the present invention can be effectively used as an equipment carrying-in and fixing device that can realize stable movement of equipment with little effort while sufficiently reducing noise generated when the equipment is in a fixed state.
